THE UNC HAVE LIBERATED AT 7.00 FROM BROOKLAND AFTER A 4 DAY HOLDEOVER

[carl]

thanks steven and about time eh,,,,,,,whats the difference in weather today as to saturday   nothing

[bewted]

where is brookland as i have hundreds of pigeons flying over me going north?

[REDCHEQHEN]

Brookland is a little north of Folkestone, how far are you from Folkestone (do us a velocity check please   :K) I'm clocking in (only for the third time ever...!) Guess I have my uses now and again  :

[bewted]

i am approx 50-55 north of london,well of south cast,they doing about 35-40 mph,not hanging about,about 50-70 feet of rooftops,hope this helps,,,ted

[bewted]

if interested,weather cloudy but bright,visibility good,,,,,getting brighter as i write this,,,,ted   good luck,,,,keep me informed plz

[REDCHEQHEN]

There is a Brookland and a Brooklands, we were told it was about 2 miles from Folkestone, Brooklands is about 68 miles from you, Brookland about 132 by road the latter is the nearest to Folkestone, but at that speed looking the most unlikely....... thanks for replying Ted - much appreciated cheers.  :K)

 

will keep you informed

[REDCHEQHEN]

Ted, that could have been the WDA ( West Durham Amalgamation) I suppose which was liberated at the same time this morning from Maidstone ( tho' a bit to the west....? )

 

Difference would be 30,000 pigeons from one and 3000 or so for the other

[Guest]

What time do you think they will be arriving, I fly in teesside and cant get out of work till 12, but they will doing fast times dont you think??

[bewted]

brookland would be about 136 by road approx,,,,so,at a guess,would be a lot,lot shorter in straight line,,,ted

[Guest]

It is supposed to be 250 odd miles to my loft, I think, but was never given a distance so cant work out an accurate time.

[bewted]

i hope all get good racing,who ever races,just hope my little bit of info helps,,,ted

[REDCHEQHEN]

Haven't got a distance either, Folkestone was 260 miles to me, so similar, can't guess an accurate time, so basing on 60mph 4 hours 20 mins, 10 mph west or sw winds all way up, I'm on my lonesome and having to sort the hens out for this widowhood lark, what a carry on - still, the only two times I have clocked before, we scored.... ( both much shorter distances tho' ) WDA up at 7.00 also, so if you know anyone from there, ask them to phone u, shorter distance by 30 miles, will give you half an hour, Newton Aycliffe in WDA, know anyone from there, or Darlington ?

[REDCHEQHEN]

Sorry Ted, by the time I wrote my post you'd posted,must improve my typing skills, you were a help Ted, cos if it was WDA, they doing 50mph or so, that has helped, rather be ready for them far too early than too late eh?

[bewted]

much better to be ready early asap,anything could happen,hope you get a winner,,,,ted

[Guest]

Looks like I may have to go to the doctors @ 1130 then LOL

[bewted]

you look it,,,,,go for it,,,ted

[bewted]

any more news yet?   ted

[jimmy white]

:) BEST OF LUCK ALL :)

[Guest]

Good luck to all the up north combine members !

[Guest]

good luck to you all

[REDCHEQHEN]

Terrible race for me, only 1 back from 9, clocked at 13.27 -I saw very few going overhead, maybe a hundred or so, don't know whether they were more inland or more out to sea (I live about 400 yards from the North Sea) looking on the bright side, atleast I don't have to bother taking the clock to the club..... forgot to add - about half an hour behind club winner.... but more bothered about missing birds

[Guest]

Early indications look like being a disaster  > !!   Got 1 out of 10 at 1.25 and they were due in at 12.30.

[REDCHEQHEN]

5 more returned - 3 left to come - phew.... :-/

Hi, i sent 7 birds and my 1st was back at 1.27pm it was very late i thought and i only clocked it to say id clocked as me and mum are novices and need all the experiance we can get lol   any way im very glad i did as it won the club and 2nd and 3rd placed birds were clocked in a full 30mins later by Mr cockroft.son +G.son (i race with shotton palms). Up to now i have 4 out of 7 back. However the other club in the village  (shotton WHS) had its winner timed in by MR cockroft,son +G.son at 1.08pm.

 

;D so it was a queer race for the shotton fed,  but im not complaining its only me and mums 1st season after taking over my late fathers birds, so just to be placed is an honour
